Ingredients
- 1 pie shell uncooked, rolled and ready to be filled
- 1 can pumpkin filling 15oz can - make sure it's pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling!
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup molasses, unsulfured
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- dash nutmeg
- 4 eggs seperated
Instructions
- Prepare your pie crust or use a premade shell. It should be in the pie plate ready to go.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin filling with the sugar.
- Microwave the molasses for about 30 seconds to get it a bit more runny, and less thick. Combine with the pumpkin mixture.
- Add in the yolks of the 4 eggs, mixing well. If you've heated the molasses too much you might need to temper the eggs into the mixture when adding.
- Add all the spices into the pumpkin puree mixture.
- In a seperate bowl, fluff the egg whites with a mixer until light and airy. You want to beat past soft peaks, to stiff peaks.
- Fold in the egg whites until the mixture is just combined. Try not to lose the air in the egg whites.
- Place on a middle rack and back for approximately 40 mins, checking for doneness.

Notes
You might need to place a cookie sheet below the pie to catch any over flow.
If the edges of the pie crust begin to brown to quickly, place foil or pie shields over.
